Paul Finebaum recently joined ESPN’s First Take show to give his top three college football storylines entering the 2025 season.
The No. 3 storyline, according to Finebaum, is the “pulse of the ACC with Clemson and Bill Belichick, UNC.”
After winning the ACC Championship and making the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff last season, Finebaum sees Clemson as a bona fide national championship contender in 2025.
“I think they’re a sure thing to get back (to the College Football Playoff), and they may even be a legitimate shot at winning the title,” Finebaum said.
